LipCal - good to hear another river kid is present - 38 yrs good job pops! - I'll be calling my dad tonight to see if i can peg ya. Not sure if Pinky had a son likley though. Anyway, you must of known my grandpa Spike Robinson up Whites Gulch, thats were i lived as a kid and went to school in Sawyers Bar. And Yup the entire road is paved. They paved the last section on the Scott Valley side of the Salmon Summit after a big portion of it washed out in a flood event in 1997.

Lookn Good Russ - not a better but would love to see some big chunks - Good Luck!!

I'll do that Scott. You may have met my dad in your time on the river. he's the big county worker with the big beard, his names Jack Robinson been keepn the roads clear 20= yrs now.. My wife just saw peggy afew days back out here in the valley. Dowseing Rods - i've seen them used by the old timers on the river. I'll go with minelab rods myself. AjR

My dad and grandfather always said " Your always one foot from a million dollars or a million feet from a dollar" when referring to the ways of gold. I keep this in mind anytime i mine. I split my time from places i've found gold to new places 50/50. I work places that i've found gold to get color when i need the fix or to prove to myself i haven't missed anything nice with the hope i did. Secondly I scout areas and prospect by pan as well as detect in search of new paying grounds. Ive been using a GB Pro but have purchased an SDC I have a few spots that i haven't been to that i'm thinking that SDC will be perfect for. The'll be 2-3 days so i'll be practicing the machine awhile before heading out but i'm very hopeful. Which along with patience and a decent detector are the keys to successful treasure hunting of any kind. If i have any wavier of hope when researching a new place or an old place i pass for the time being and return latter if need be. I'm only afew years in the detector game though so i'm running allot of new ground and loving it. just discussed this topic with my wife the other day - popular topic this time of year AjR

Kind, very Kind. - my Kinda people

Thanks Sourdough, you must have visited - where ya been? I'm born and raised on the North Fork of the Salmon River and havent had much of a reason to leave the county much. Couldnt help but notice you sold your SDC - why? AjR

Hello All, My Name is Adam Robinson and I live in N.California just below the Oregon border in a beautiful little place named Scott Valley, Siskiyou County. I'm 35 yrs old, have two children and a beautiful wife. I'm a 3rd generation miner and had been detecting with a friends MXT for a few years until i bought myself a Gold Bug Pro last year. I did pretty good last year with my Gb Pro and even better so far this year. Detecting has quickly become my favorite way to prospect and i border on obsession sometimes. I recently bought a used SDC that i should have by the end of the coming week. It will be my first PI and i look forward to learning a new machine. I mine year round and about half the time in or around water, underwater sniping is one of my favorites as well as trips deep into the wilderness in search of patches untouched by modern electronic prospectors. Last year was also my first year in my 35 yrs of life i joined an online forum or even frequented one. I have posted some of my finds on Treasure Net this last year and shall do so here also from now on. I appreciate the wealth of knowledge i have found on the solid forums such as this one and the ability for us as miners to share experiences and techniques. I've made afew friends along the way and look forward to making more. if your interested in my recent finds check out Featherdfishead at TNet. Attached is some of last years gold i'm getn red of to pay for my SDC.(not an Ad) Also, Tips and nuances people have found useing the SDC or Minelab detectors in general would be appreciated. I look forward to sharing my adventures - Happy Hunting! AjR
